Supreme Court of the United States

Dolan v. United States — Roberts, J., dissenting

June 14, 2010560 U.S. 605

Summary

Chief Justice Roberts dissents, arguing that the District Court lacked authority to impose restitution more than 90 days after sentencing under 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5). He concludes sentences are final, the statutory deadline is self-executing, and the Government's failure to appeal the initial sentencing error precludes later correction.
